So what are the odds of there being a side quest or a character or interaction or SOMETHING in RDR2 that will make headlines? It feels like this game is going to be way too mainstream and there will be way too much attention on it for it to slide by without a mole hill being turned into a mountain. Qubee posted:is it worth buying a PS4 just so I can play this on release? really don't want to wait for a PC release cause I have no idea how soon (probably not soon) it will get released. I'm in the same boat as you, and I think you should be fine with pretty much any of the variations of the PS4 provided it's got enough hard drive space. I'm looking to grab a used one, hopefully with 1TB.

So apparently one of the best ways to get perfect animal skins is to lasso the hell out of whatever animal you're hunting down, then when they're roped up you can skin that motherfucker and end up with a high-quality skin. Haven't done this yet because I'm at work, but I guess it only works on anything deer sized and up. The idea of lassoing a racoon makes me chuckle though.

I am bad at games like poker. So bad that Pearson beat me in a couple of games of dominos and now he absolutely will not shut up about how he won. Every chance he has to say something to me it's about when he won. One of these days Pearson, you're getting a fist right in the kisser.

People who have issues with the save system and who are also playing on PS4, you can just do what I do: Pause the game. Then go do something else. After your PS4 goes into power saving mode you can come back whenever and resume where you were. The PS4 has got a pretty great sleep mode but I'm unsure about its hibernation mode. Anyway, I think it does this for like, most everything.

Man I had to pay off like $450+ western buckeroos because of all the gotdang bounties on my head after killing an army of lawmen and bounty hunters across two townships or someshit and now I'm broke as HELL. I better buckle down and do some story missions or something because I ain't winning any high stakes poker games anytime soon.

Just started Chapter 3 and rode into town on my trusty steed. On the way to visit the Fence I ran over some loving yokel who was lying down on the goddamn ground having a afternoon snooze like an idiot. He gets up and his woman runs off yelling for the law. The yokel runs after her shouting that I assualted him. I get off my horse and chase after them. I stop them to diffuse the situation and threaten the guy, he shits his pants and promises to not get the law involved. I threaten the woman and she loving slaps the hat off my head before diffusing. She's lucky I had gold bars to offload because I Was THIS close to popping dead eye and shooting her right in the middle of town. AndyElusive fucked around with this message at 02:08 on Nov 4, 2018 |

I guess getting taken for a fool plenty of times during RDR1 lead me to suspect that something was up when I came across a lady on the ground calling for help. I've stopped for plenty of strangers earlier in the game, and I usually draw on them after initially greeting them. If they're asking for help with something their reactions to me pulling my gun will usually give me a heads up on if they're being honest or not. This lady sees my repeater and starts to tell me if I'm not going to be a gentleman then she won't be a lady. Before she even finishes her sentence I dead eye her and the two dudes on horseback coming over the hill. Not today, bandits.

Sulphagnist posted:There was a stranger like that where I could tell from the voice acting they were full of poo poo. That was a cool moment. I forgot to mention I totally L.A Noired the lady trying to honeypot me. When I greeted her she said her horse had an accident and she fell off and sprained her foot. There wasn't a horse anywhere in sight. A few days before that I actually helped a lady who's horse died on her. I even encountered the body of the dead horse and looted it before running into her. So I just knew it was a trap.

Wait, where do you take baths in this game? I just realized I haven't washed my dude since I started. No one's commented yet, but maybe that's because I took a swim recently while treasure huntin' And in more tales from the frontier...I'm an outlaw who's an outlaws worst nightmare. So far I've stumbled across a couple of morons busy hammering away on a lock box from a wagon they hijacked. I stayed a good distance away and after they succeeded opening the box I shot em both while they celebrated. I took the contents for safe keeping. Then later as I crossed a plateau near the choo choo track I overheard a trio of O'Driscolls in the midst of a railway heist. I watched as they robbed the train and killed the crew and passengers. The O'Driscolls began to ride off while commenting on how much fun that was. One dead eye later and I was looting their corpses. Sufficed to say I'm always wearing my bandana.

The 2nd time I rode up on them they started telling me that it was none of my business and I better get outta there and BOOM they blew themselves up and I just walked over and took the money out of the box.

Loten posted:Another side effect was that after I beat the poo poo out of that guy, but before I got arrested, the butcher also decided to have a go and I had to put him down as well. So Strawberry was butcher-less for a few days. He later reappeared with a blood covered face. That's how long it takes for West World's I.T department to repair the hosts you gently caress up. TheAnomaly posted:Even better with the robbed wagons: they're often dynamiting a safe, and if you wait for them to say "got it" then walk up, they'll pull guns on you, tell you to back off, and then blow up because the dynamite was lit. Holy poo poo that's awesome.

Maaaaaaaan. I'm so boring, I never grow a dope horseshoe mustache or goatee or a mutton chops beard. I just shave it down to a five o'clock and then when it grows out into a beard or when a chapter change happens, I just shave it down again. Maybe I'll grow some cowboy balls in a few chapters and try something different.

DrNutt posted:My only disappointment is that (probably due to when that quest becomes available) none of the gunslinger weapons are all that great or cool. I feel like had they put that quest more toward the mid/latter section of the game they might have actually made them unique/powerful in some way other than just recolored models. Everything feels powerful if you aim for the head. Also, I'll concede that using a Mauser and a Revolver isn't the best two pistol combo since you run out of rounds in one way before the other. Still baller.
